The worst thing about Civilizations and its clones is how these games predispose one to think in terms of eternal aggression between states. It's a really bleak game. Where chess is a battle, Civ is a never ending war. The game is over when there's nobody left to fight.
While it's a cute idea, I doubt this feature of X has serious support behind, and I don't think any future graphics system, be it Wayland or something else, will support it. Sending rendering commands over a network is just much worse for the vast majority of applications than rendering on the source system and sending a (compressed) video stream.

Sending rendering commands over a network is only decently fast if you have simple windows and no pictures. As soon as you want anyhting fancier, even as simple as opening a high res photo, the video streaming approach becomes significantly better.

X's model can have one advantage, when the machine running the X client doesn't have rendering resources locally at all (so that local rendering + video streaming would take too long for the CPU, despite the network advantage). But that is an even rarer use case.
I mean, code is both the hard and the easy part. I can write the code to get good code, or I can spend more effort on finding the right problems to solve and let others write shitty code.

It hurts to let people do that, but ultimately shitty code still works, while having solved the wrong problem means that all the work goes down the drain.
The fact that entities large enough to control so many resources by themselves exist, is not a good thing.

It was Firefox, and to a lesser extent Safari, that initially calved into IE. While Chrome did indeed strike the fatal blow, it came a little later into fight.

You also missed the GPs point, the reason Microsoft could be “sleepy dormant” on the web was because they had already won the browser wars and because the dominant platform for a decade. And that wasn’t by accident, it was very much a strategic move to conquer the browser market.

That sounds like a bad thing, no? ;)
It is not the idea of GPG thats bad. In fact, the idea is great! The implementation of GPG however is quite another thing. Ease of use and user experience are really not that great with GPG. It is difficult to use even for developers. Developers are users too amd so on.

Not relevant to the ideals set forth, which our moderns free democracies are based on. This is fundamental, so it's actually worse than when it happens in China.

> that gets us back to the starting point (ie, present state) where some level of collateral damage is acceptable.

No one claimed that it's not; they just said "let's have a wee bit more protection, which rarely exists today, because thousands of people are dying needlessly every year". That's it. You're argueing on your own against things that were never said.

I have no interest in continuing this because I no longer believe you're engaging in good faith but are merely trying to pull some "gotcha" zinger or whatever. Talking to has all the appearances of being utterly pointless because you seem unable or unwilling to read what's being said.
This topic resurfaces quite frequently, I've noticed. One thing I find quite frustrating is that most of the time this is discussed, people don't remember that exposing the creation time of a database row to the public is not acceptable in many systems. This makes v7 UUIDs, ULIDs, KSUIDs, etc. not appropriate for the task.

In any application where the user is able to first create a draft of something (a video upload, a news article, a blog post, ...) and then release it some day in the future, we probably don't want the public to be aware of when the author created the initial draft. For instance, news websites often start drafting articles about people that are speculated to pass away soon.

The problem also affects numeric/auto-incremented IDs. The "Finnish BBC" YLE uses numeric IDs in their news article URLs, making it possible to ballpark when the article was first started. Here's [1] an article about the death of former president Martti Ahtisaari from 2023/10/16 and here's [2] the next integer ID dated 2023/5/5 (5 months before).

It's a multi-layered satirical joke. The 'absurd' aspect is the flipping of 'taking over a library' versus starting one, which is amusing given that the motivations of state-sponsored bad actors are to poison and/or control the hard work of others. They themselves would end up doing the hard work they've undermined. Further satirical layers are added by the prospect of those bad actors producing 'good' software instead of 'evil', and providing funding that they've historically been reluctant to cough up.

Of course, as the old saying goes, explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: nobody laughs and a frog dies.

It doesn't presume anything, it's just relative value. The local government by definition can't enact a national program, but it could certainly use the money for e.g. local tax credits for solar panels or electric vehicles or heat pumps. It could provide incentives for local housing construction or a hundred other things. They could even return the money to citizens, who would do something with it, often something good. And if any of those things provide more value than the bollards then that's what they should do instead.

It's worth noting Qatar is the main benefactor of Al Jazeera, while also having funded Hamas for years, and hosting the Hamas leaders in their country. Al Jazeera in English is extremely different from al Jazeera in Arabic where journalism takes a back seat on any item somehow connected to Israel and especially Hamas.

What’s your definition of finicky? JavaScript is something like 3-10x faster than Lua for most benchmarks (1).

I'll preface this with I'm not american, and I'm from a country that historically doesn't have a problem with racism against the minorities these policies affect.

These policies always seem a bit ridiculous to me. I've done nothing to discriminate against these people, so why am I being treated worse because of the actions of people I had nothing to do with? Affirmative action policies are discriminative, just not to the group they're targeted at helping. Why can't there just be equality and leave it at that?

My personal opinion is you can't discriminate based on information you don't have, so universities/employers etc shouldn't get information on a candidates race/gender/whatever that's not relevant, because that way they can't have discriminated using it

The values are entirely on paper. It's a comparison you make when deciding how to allocate funding.

Politicians obviously and frequently don't get the math right (or even do the comparison), but that doesn't affect what they should do if they were making better policy choices, or what voters should ask for if they're doing the numbers.
Don't know if it is still an issue but Atlanta used to have problems with the in-house sign shop producing street signs with misspelled names. Apparently, boulevard in particular was difficult for the city to get correct which was a problem since there's a major road simply named "Boulevard". Maybe it got corrected after one of the local news channels did a segment about it but does highlight the fact that road signs sometimes aren't authoritative.
I'm not sure if you're from the Netherlands, but I can assure you it's more nuanced that this. Mixing only works when cars are not dominant, so you need low car volumes and low speed in these areas. Residential areas in cities are an example of this: no through traffic, max 30kmh limit.

Most of (new) Dutch road design is designed to give pedestrians and cyclists multiple safe options, while cars have to take the long way round. You can in theory still get basically anywhere with a car if you need, but often (especially in cities) it easier to walk/cycle/take the train/tram/metro. The result is that things can be closer to each other (no parking moat everywhere) so in the end the trip is shorter and safer for everyone, including people choosing to take the car.

> Israel is actively doing most of the points above against an effectively unarmed and blockaded group of people. US was fighting against actual armies whichever their quality.

You are just factually wrong on many of your points.

It's true that Hamas isn't a traditional military with heavy equipment, but they are a 30k strong insurgent group that has had years to plan their defense. They've built tunnel complexes that are said to be larger than the NY Subway and hide in them, coming up to ambush soldiers.

If your view of what is happening is that the IDF is going around shooting at civilians, then you're just incorrect about what is actually happening on the ground for the last many months.

If you look at videos that Hamas themselves post, you can see them constantly attacking soldiers, collapsing buildings on soldiers, placing munitions on tanks to blow them up, etc.

> [Israel] destroys all hospitals,

Absolutely not true. Israel hasn't destroyed hospitals, definitely not all of them, despite this being commonly claimed.

There was one hospital that saw a week of fighting between Hamas and the IDF. After that week, much of it was destroyed. This btw goes against your point that Hamas is effectively unarmed. But while most other hospitals have seen attacks around them and many have been ordered evacuated, they aren't destroyed. (Some are damaged, to be fair - but hospitals are pretty big, and there's a world of difference between "some hospitals have been damaged" and "Israel has destroyed all hospitals".)

> israel actively causes famine

I think Israel has acted horribly around humanitarian aid, yes. This has largely changed recently, thankfully.

> creates mass graves that have victims with hands tied behind their backs.

This was recently reported and hasn't been investigated. Many things later turn out to not be what was claimed by the Gazan authorities (Hamas) who are playing a disinformation campaign. Israel says this mass grave was made by Palestinians. Neither you nor I know the truth of this. I highly doubt it was Israel, if those people are civilians. If it was Israel, that would most definitely be a war crime as far as I can tell.

> Israel official claim their desire to kill everyone.

Not true, and I've talked about this in another comment in this thread.

> They simply cannot do it immediately because they are doing it with western financial and military support which would evaporate because you can only do propaganda so much.

OK. But that's an unfalsifiable statement. You can always say that Israel is "just about" to do more. Do you think Israel has more support now or 6 months ago right after the October 7th attacks? I think it has far less support, which was entirely predictable. So why wait so long? What kind of evidence would convince you that Israel doesn't want to engage in genocide, if not doing it when it had more support isn't strong enough evidence?
It isn't the same, otherwise those licenses wouldn't exist, and be fully embraced by those that don't want to be tainted by freedom ideology.

That seems very good faith and transparent. Bad faith would be saying, 'yeah we are happy with a permanent cease fire', getting all the hostages, and then continuing the assault.

Agree that the logic kind of pushes Hamas into keeping the hostages so not sure what Israel is expecting and most likely Israel has just marked the hostages as dead and will do anything to permanently destroy Hamas and show other potential beligerents that the deterrent strategy is concrete - even though that means a death sentence for most of those hostages still alive.
Yes doable. Can put the unselected choices in another array which is displayed at the end of the game.

Yeah you need to shop for these specifically. They come at a premium.
The water's not there to directly store gravitational potential energy, it's there to provide a variable sized containment vessel under nearly constant pressure conditions. This has two advantages:

1) You're not losing thermal energy from the main body of air (assuming their thermal recovery at the compressor works well enough) because the change in air pressure only occurs at the compressor.

2) You get constant pressure and constant power output for the entire volume of your compressed air storage, instead of both dropping rapidly as air is released. This gives you far better bang for buck per unit volume of pressurized air.

I haven't done the calcs but I'd guess that if they're bothering doing all this extra stuff the energy stored in a cubic meter of compressed air at these pressures is significantly higher than the energy you'd get from just lowering a cubic meter of water down to the reservoir.
It's fuck-all hardware, FM and AM radios have been paired together since the 80s as an absolutely trivial expense; it probably costs them more to get FM hardware without the AM than to get both as a package. In fact their hardware is probably AM capable already, merely unexposed in the user interface. And buttons? Who is still making cars with real buttons for the radio?
